. Another initiativeis the Leadership Alliance, a more comprehensive program that involves more than 30institutions of different types (Ghee et al. 2014). One of the key aspects of this consortium is 8-10 weeks of summer research experience. Students from member MSIs accepted for theexperience in a research institution carry out a research project, receive mentorship, and gainresearch and professional skills. These programs and other similar ones have the potential tobuild capacity for the transformation of higher education and the workforce. Similarly, theHBCU/MSI Research Summit has the potential for broadening participation by creating acontext in which initial encounters-- between students, and students and faculty-- may lead toresearch

The early feedback also confirmed the difficulty of changing thetraditional knowledge delivery and the overall resistance to change by participants (students andfaculty) in general. A set of actions have been identified by the team to address the challenges inthe near-term.

This approach gives the students enoughmaterial at the beginning of the project that they can relate it back to prior personal experiencesand individually acquired knowledge21. Then, the instructor gives the students a task that relieson the input from everyone in the group to think critically on the topic. The final part of theprocess requires that all students participate in order to complete the task without hinderingprogress. It is noted in this approach that convincing students to embrace a different viewpointon a topic can be challenging and sometimes sensitive due to upbringing or past experiences, soa structured approach to

the distinction between collaborative learning on the one hand and cooperativelearning on the other (see, e.g., Olivares 2 ). Cooperative learning is group learning whose main goal is for everymember of the group to learn 3,4 . Our focus is on this type of learning. By contrast, the goal of collaborative learningis for the group to work together to solve a problem, complete a project, etc.; ensuring that each individual memberof the group learns some particular item of knowledge is secondary. We should also add that not all authors use thesedefinitions of cooperative and collaborative learning with some authors conflating the two and others interchangingthe two terms 5,2 .

A recent NSF report50 reviewing the literature on distanceeducation points to the challenges faced in online education. It requires a level of studentdiscipline that a more structured on-campus environment does not. It is also shown that contactwith faculty as well as with other students is critical. It is therefore important that the onlineprogram provide a supportive environment, both through instructor-student communication andthrough the development of an online student community. The latter can be facilitated bycollaborative learning approaches such as project-based coursework and other virtual team-basedactivities. Information technology
